Surprised at the number of folk who "want ago" and the smile it brings to shoot my old Wild hammergun which is only proofed for black powder.

If only the black powder was easier to obtain.
I luv blackpowder! I've loaded lots of 12b just for fun. It has a totally different feel to firing nitro. Most clay ranges don't allow them though. They claim the smoke cloud puts off the next shooter! I don't have a problem getting the black stuff though. I had a couple of kilos at the gun show last week and Kranks and Swiss are easy enough to get down here in deepest Wales.
